Word For The Day, May 28, 2013
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
isolato [ahy-suh-ley-toh]
-n, pl. isolatoes
a person who is spiritually isolated from or out of sympathy with his or her times or society.
[1850–55; < Italian < Latin insulātus. See insulate
]
They also have available on higher trims power folding rear seatbacks. Really? You can’t lift a lever and push a seat down?
I don’t have the blindspot warning, but I do have the backup beeper.
i’m always pressing that by mistake, it is called DAC or something? at least a light flashes on the dash to let you know you enabled it.
Hey I love technology! If you had a baby in your arms and a bag you needed to set behind a seat that would come in very handy! My daughter bought a toyota recently and while looking with her I thought the back seats that lean back a bit was really nice....
the highlander doesn’t have the sonar [beeper] so i make do with the camera, but i do miss the sonar. it makes parking much easier.
And there is another Loose seal joke too.
I’m not saying it’s not funny. It is. Just that I found the ones I’ve seen before funnier.
So, anybody ready to jump on the Penguins bandwagon?
Watch this ragtag bunch of misfits, rejects and has-beens keep winning to thwart their evil owner’s plans to move the franchise to another city.
No wait, that’s the plot to “Major League.” ;-)
sorry, can’t jin up any luv for the penguins. fresh aht ; )
OHHHHH, btw, pittsburgh dad on FB apparently posted asking if anyone was having a churchhall/firehall wedding this summer that he could be invited to. he wants to do an episode on one. that will be EPIC!
To be fair, you have to watch the new ones 4 or 5 times to have an honest comparison. ;-)
Too bad. You could follow @BritPensFanClub on Twitter.
A bunch of dedicated Britons who stay up late to watch the games, which start after midnight there.
They’ve been dubbed the “Brinzers.”
I don't really follow hockey, so OK.
OK, good for you. Welcome aboard!
i follow more than one Pens twitter account including @evildanbylsma. one of xsteen’s friends stayed up and followed Caps games when he was over in England for a semester in college.
I love my tahoe but have a HORRIBLE blind spot over my right shoulder and have to lay the right passenger seat down completely so I can see! It is really bad when someone is sitting there. (headrest PLUS human head- completely blocked area)
[from Jim Geraghty's Morning Jolt}:
As mentioned earlier, Jonah Goldberg and I will be "guest bartending" at a National Review Happy Hour, held at our D.C. office at 233 Pennsylvania Avenue the evening of Thursday, May 30, starting around 6 p.m. It's being organized by a nascent women-focused NR group called "Conserva-Chicks" — clearly, no focus group examined that name — so attendance by those with two X chromosomes is particularly appreciated. You can watch a quick promotional video, demonstrating my bartending skills, here.
Go! Sounds like a blast. And you have two x chromosomes.
Isolato
In the winter we have isolato and cold muchobuncha und dat’s da trooff!
They fit the sterotype of stupid skank so perfectly that when they mentioned looking for something other than the huge assortment at that store I mentioned the TWO liquor stores within the parking area and they said "but today is sunday and they are closed"....I said, "no today is Monday"..... they cursed with glee and left.
I turned to my son and said two things: don't you EVER bring a girl home that looks like that and don't ever ask a skank advice about booze - they like it all.
i am rolling on the floor!!!!! hahahahaha!
My son is so much smarter than I am - he was shocked I asked them for advice in the first place! lol
